"That locker room bout to be in for a surprise": Pat Fitzgerald gets trolled for landing a new parent volunteer gig in high school

Pat Fitzgerald recently agreed to a new role as a parent volunteer at Loyola Academy, where two of his sons are enrolled.

The former Northwestern head coach has reportedly completed the introductory program, training, and a comprehensive background check. He also signed a code of conduct agreement with the academy. The news was announced by Loyola Academy on August 17.

Fans took to social media to poke fun at the coach, who was involved in hazing allegations.

Some, however, supported Pat Fitzgerald, calling him a fantastic coach.

Pat Fitzgerald's hazing allegations

A former Northwestern football player filed a lawsuit against Fitzgerald seeking damages associated with the hazing scandal. The lawsuit alleged that various authoritative figures attempted to conceal sexual misconduct and racial discrimination.

The sexual misconduct allegations include players in the locker room stripping naked and expecting the same from freshmen. They were also allegedly asked to perform various acts which were obscene and derogatory. Pat Fitzgerald was reportedly accused of allowing the prevalence of racist culture.

Pat Fitzgerald's attorney, Dan Webb, issued an email, saying:

“The complaint has no validity as to Coach Fitzgerald and we will aggressively defend against these allegations with facts and evidence.”
